HART & VICK’S DELPHINIUMS 
THE CENTER of ATTRACTION in any GARDEN 
These are the most popular and certainly one of the most beautiful of all the hardy plants 
for display and for cutting. The tall spikes of flowers of many shades of color, 
above the dark green foliage, make a wonderful display unequalled by any other flower.

They 
begin to bloom in Sune and by cutting the flower stalks to the ground, as the crops of flowers 
fade, a second and third lot of bloom may be had.

strong, woody stems. 
Comparatively mildew-resistant, practically 100 per cent double. Seed grown each year from the 
originator’s cross-pollinated seed. 
Black Knight 
Darkest of all dark blues with a dark bee. Giant 
flowers of heavy velvety texture on very long, well 
formed spikes. A favorite in our display grounds. 
Biue Bird 
Clear mid-blue flowers with white bees. Very attrac- 
tive in the hardy border. 
Cameliard 
Clear lavender, very double flowers with white bees. 
No doubt the finest lavender ever seen in Delphinium. 
Galahad 
Clear white flowers with a white bee and very heavy 
glistening texture, pyramidal spikes with well spaced 
flowers, good branching habit, strong whippy stems 
with a high percentage of mildew-resistance.

popular Delphinium. 
Guinevere 
Soft pinkish lavender flowers with white bees. One 
of the most delicately colored of all Delphinium. 
Summer Skies 
Clear very delicate light blue flowers; white bee. 
King Arthur 
Very dark vioiet flowers with white centers or bees, 
Probably as dark or darker in color than any other 
Delphinium. In our trial gardens King Arthur had not 
only the largest individual flowers but the longest 
spike and the tallest and strongest stem. 
Round Table Mixture 
Three hundred crosses were used to make up this 
kind that combines all the newest color develop- 
ments. The finest Hybrid Delphinium Mixture we 
have ever seen. At our display grounds at Fairport, 
N. Y., we had over 300 plants, grown from this seed, 
in bloom. Hundreds and hundreds of visitors pro- 
nounced it the best lot of Delohinium they had ever 
seen. We recommend this mixture to every gardener 
whether he or she is a Delphinium expert or just 
starting to grow them for the first time.

Datura—Angel’s Trumpet 
When you have set the young plants out in the garden 
where they are to bloom, cover them with Hotkaps (page 53). 
They will protect them from the heat of the sun and keep them 
from wilting and being eaten by bugs. Hotkaps are good garden 
insurance. 
The individual flowers of Pacific Hybrids are very large. We 
have grown them here in Rochester 21 inches in diameter. 
Hints on Growing Delphinium 
Chilling or freezing Delphinium seed in the refrigerator and 
sowing while still cold increases germinaton. Sow from early 
spring until mid-August in a well-prepared seedbed. Cover Vg in. 
deep. Shelter from sun. Transplant to garden when plants have 
three leaves. Every spring throw a handful of lime on each plant 
and feed liberally with Bovung. Cut the plant down when it is 
through with its summer bloom and again give a handful of 
lime.
